ISJ Photography

I’m Ieashia, the face behind ISJ Photography — a specialist maternity photographer based near Dagenham, working from my cosy home studio in Chadwell Heath, Essex. My focus is simple: to document this powerful, fleeting chapter of your life with soft, neutral, timeless images that let you see yourself as the incredible mumma you are. I believe maternity photography should be gentle, honest and empowering — not staged or pressured — and I’ve built my approach around making you feel relaxed, confident and celebrated. My style is calm and natural. I use soft light, neutral tones and minimal distractions to keep the spotlight on you and your bump. Whether you want intimate, moody portraits or joyful, light-filled images with your partner and children, I guide you through each pose with kindness and patience so the session feels effortless. My studio wardrobe and carefully chosen backdrops remove the stress of what to wear, and I’m happy to include partners and siblings so your images truly reflect your family right now. From the moment you enquire, my aim is to make the whole experience caring and personal. I’ll chat about your vision, offer styling suggestions, and explain what to expect so you can arrive feeling confident. Sessions are relaxed and unrushed — I know pregnancy comes with unpredictability, so I always prioritise your comfort. After the shoot I hand-edit each image to a high standard, delivering a collection you’ll be proud to display at home and pass down as a family heirloom. You deserve to look back on this time and remember how strong, beautiful and brave you were. My maternity photos are made to do just that: freeze the emotion, the glow, and the quiet strength of pregnancy. If you’re local to Dagenham or the wider Essex area and want a specialist maternity photographer who treats this moment with care and artistry, I’d love to hear your story and create something timeless together.
